A couple names off the top of my head that I didn't see in the list, yet:
Vernon Castle - famous with wife Irene as dancers
Christy Mathewson - Inaugural member of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, and one of the greatest baseball players of all time, Mathewson was a pitcher who still ranks 3rd all time in wins with 373. Mathewson enlisted in 1918 and was a Captain in the Chemical Warfare Service. He was gassed in a training incident, contracted tuberculosis, and died in 1925.
Ty Cobb - Another inaugural member of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, second all time in hits, also served in the Chemical Warfare Service.
Two more baseball Hall of Famers were also in the CWS - Branch Rickey and George Sisler.
